Ditch Witch RT80 Ride-On Trencher was designed with enhanced features, including a compact profile, high-load axle capacity and a turbocharged Tier 4 Deutz diesel engine for improved productivity. The trencher is designed to be a mid-range machine equipped for heavy-duty trenching in small places.
“The RT80 ride-on trencher is right-sized for tough utility tasks in tight conditions,” said Andrew Schuermann, product manager, trenchers, for the Ditch Witch organization. “Operators will appreciate the way it powers through heavy-duty trenching and plowing jobs, yet is compact enough to easily install conduit and cable in tight job-sites.”
